Slang words

I wanted your opinion on something… YouTube allows all forms of language except for hate-speak.  Should I censor myself in my videos when it comes to slang words (curse words, to be more specific), or speak them outright as they are just as important a part of the language as regular words.  Please take the poll below and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Marina

My Upcoming Book

I wanted to get your opinion on what kind of book I should write.  I am still working out the details on the format.  Here is the first in a series of polls I will make to try to narrow down the format of the book.  Your opinions will help.  If you want to add additional ideas in the comments, that will be great as well!

Thanks so much!

Marina
